why do YOU main survivor?

While it's very (VERY) frustrating when a team doesn't vibe, it feels so good when you get a group of randoms (or at least one) who works with you and tries with you, despite the odds. It feels really good to be so close to death, but still somehow manage to get out. Stealth is a lot of fun, too. It's awesome to sneak past killers. Playing with friends is definitely the biggest pull, though. I would have days or even weeks were I wouldn't play DbD unless someone asked me to SWF with them.

EDIT: It's hard to explain, but I don't think I explained it well enough. Sometimes I just don't feel like doing much of anything after work, so I'll just lay around and watch YouTube. Like I'm tired or something. During those times, I'll sometimes play with friends if they ask me to play with them.

I started playing this since March 2019, before that I check alot of vids of DBD & Last year Nightmare. I saw LYN gives survivor ability to fight back really hard to the point Killers can not do anything, and I dont like spawn after death make a mistake feel like nothing.

DBD, just a little mistake cost your life, and its the end, no going back. The feel of true hiding,evade,escape from the dangerous (that you can barely do anything), I like it.

Cause I get more control over the map.

I like those heart pounding edge of the seat chases I.e. exposed/broken etc. plus it’s a lot more open to light hearted funny moments from teammates and really strong team plays feel great when you can come together with randoms and really get things done as a team and help each other out in tough situations, it’s also a lot less stressful than killer, I can play survivor for hours and play with a friend, killer I can play for a few hours but sometimes it’s just not possible to enjoy it as much. Plus every killer is different, some will be scary because they’re really good, others will play stealth killers and do a good job sneaking up, others may just camp or tunnel into a mori, it’s a mixed bag but refreshing, killer feels like a lot of the same to me sometimes...

Wouldn't exactly self-describe as a "main" in one way or the other, but killer I play survivor whenever the friend I play with wants to play.

They're both fun in their own way to me.

I like the combined teamwork that goes with playing survivor. I've never played swf so it's always been without verbal com and having others telling me what's going on and where the killer is. Keeping eyes and ears open and staying focused while utilizing everything on the map available to me is what I like. Granted, sometimes it's a quick 4k if you have a veteran killer in the mix with rookie survivors, but the challenge is always there to make something good happen.

I play survivor because I've made a lot of good friends in the community and it's a fun time that brings us together. I enjoy the gameplay, but I don't think I'd play nearly as much without friends. That's true for most games for me - I like the social experience.

As far as gameplay goes, I like figuring out how a killer plays and playing the mindgames with them. Reacting to killers is where I find my fun rather than taking the proactive role.

I like to suffer in company.

I main survivor only because it is so much easier and less stressful than playing killer. I solo survivor all the time with no mither and I still have a high escape percentage.

I like being under constant duress.

Strange that in your previous posts you say you main killer - pig and clown to be exact.

Oh, now your outrageous claim makes sense now.

I wouldn't say main, but I end up playing it a lot more nowadays due to the abysmally long killer queues. Previously, it was about 50-50, since I don't think you can be a great survivor/killer without playing the other side effectively.

That proves nothing about your claim - some of the biggest potatoes I have ever seen wore Legacy or P3. Your claim was solo, no mither, high escape rate (and not I can only assume this is at red ranks due to what you said).

I guess I should ask what a high escape rate meant.

I play survivor because playing killer gets me quite frustrated fast and when playing survivor I can just take it easy. I also love the chases bound to this role. Another bonus is that, after the devotion system got implemented, you earn XP faster because matches usually don't last as long as killer games do.

I admittedly play both, and enjoy them both. I play more killer, but focusing on survivor, I like being able to get in a game and help others out. It’s also super fun to swf (even tho I’m a killer main I recognize how important swf is), and it’s always good to play both sides as it improves my gameplay for each. Plus having a long chase as survivor against a good opponent, or getting respect from my adversary, is always a feel good moment.

i main survivor cuz my wifi sucks and i can't host a killer lobby without people accusing me of lag switching
